Deleting File from SUSE Linux 8

Good Day,
I'm new to Linux, and i need to delete files on linux so that there is more space, please can someone advise me what files i should not Delete on linux, as at the moment i'm not sure what i must look out for and what not?

I would not just start deleting files unless you know the files and the effect the removal will have on your system.Â What you want to do is remove packages that are not being used.Â Say, if you aren't doing any programming, you could look for programming tools and remove them.Â Next I would look to see if you have source code for the system installed on the box.Â If so, you would be able to select and remove that.

Hello there! Where you are new to linux, I wouldn't touch anything
outside of /home. Everything else is used by the system in one way or
another. You can always use yast to remove unwanted programs, but be
careful to only remove end-user programs. If you are working on a fresh
install, and are already out of space, You may want to consider adding
another hard drive.
